Facts, not a grade. We do not score a pipe out of ten: a number would rank a restored pipe above an honest one, and restoration is exactly what this hobby prices down. Every line above is checkable by anyone holding the pipe. Lines marked Faridunhill standing declaration rest on our published, dated statement of shop practice (v1.0, 2026-07-29) — not on an inspection of this individual pipe. It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
The entry
This is a cigar cutter of the guillotine type, constructed from stainless steel with a double-cut blade mechanism. The tool is designed for trimming the cap of a cigar, employing a scissor-like action to ensure a clean, straight cut. Its functional form prioritises precision and durability, with the stainless steel material offering resistance to corrosion and wear. The double blade configuration is a common feature in such cutters, intended to provide a stable, even severance of the cigar head. As a smoking accessory rather than a pipe, it serves a preparatory role in the tobacco ritual. Dating evidence is not present in the available record.

6 checklist facts recorded under Faridunhill's standing declaration of shop practice (2026-07-29).
This record is append-only. Nothing is deleted — a correction is a new entry that supersedes the old one, and both stay visible.
What this record still doesn't carry
- Not yet measured on this example: length, bowl height, chamber depth, chamber diameter, bowl width, weight. Measurements are added to the record as examples are re-handled.
- The attribute checklist is open on: topped. These are facts, not opinions — anyone holding this pipe can close them.
- Stem material is still open on this example. Vulcanite and acrylic age differently, and it is the first thing collectors ask — if you own this model, tell us what yours carries.
- No factory date code or nomenclature stage has been read on this example, so the era stays deliberately wide rather than guessed at.
- No shape number recorded — the maker's own catalogue designation for this form is still open.
Nobody leaves empty-handed. If you hold the catalogue page, the dated advertisement, or a hallmarked sibling that closes one of these — or simply own this model and can measure yours — send it in. Contributions are checked, credited to you by name, and the record is updated with the date it changed.
The witness
Instagram post, 2022-03-06. Published to a third-party platform on that date and archived since — a timestamp we cannot move. It is evidence that this object existed and looked like this, then.
The photographs are the identity. 3 images of this pipe's grain, stamping and stem are held as its fingerprint. The handle above is only a handle: lose it, and the pipe can still be matched back to this record from its grain.
